in my dream, my braintalks about brainsbeing more or less the same,resembling kidney beans,sprouting web-like dendrites,wired for synaptic connection,passing signals cell to cellthrough axons,rosette-tipped, purringlike walnut-shaped machineswrapped in soft folding,packed like cauliflower.don’t forget: human brains surpassthe brains of all other creatures.i tell my brain to shut up.obviously the stupid bastardsknow shit about biology,seeing difference like smokein Oz, shadows on the cave wall. iftheir brains had fusesi would light them, delightin the eruptions, watch the windscatter the neural remains,and only then dareto hope the far-flung ashmight fall back and reforminto brains more worthyof kinship.
